Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Saints let Bech fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Saints were there to profit. Jack Bech, the No. 71 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 4 slot. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If Ezeiruaku pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 17 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick47 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They reached a country mile for Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 47, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at slot 76 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board had Andrew Mukuba higher than the 77th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at pick No. 103 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 114th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A big swing on Mello Dotson at No. 118, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 130th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
